Millions spent to make sure criminals don’t escape

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian police has bought 25 high-powered Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution cars to catch criminals and speed hogs.

The cars, worth several millions of ringgit, would be fitted with safety gadgets and would sport the looks of police patrol cars.

Sources said the police had al­­ready taken possession and were testing the cars before sending them to the Road Transport Depart­ment for registration and approval.

“The cars are to be used in high-speed car chase, especially in cases of carjacking, kidnapping and hi­­jacking.

“The speed of the cars would enable the police to catch up with criminals who often used modified turbo charged cars to escape,” they said.

Several police personnel have been sent to undergo intensive driving classes to ensure they are able to handle the super charged cars, they added.

The cars, they said, would also be used by the highway patrol unit to monitor speed hogs or illegal racers.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed the purchase but declined to elaborate.

I think now is a good time to offer my services to the Royal Malaysian police force. Not only can I teach them to drive their cars properly, I can recommend good workshops where they can tune their cars so they can actually have a chance of catching the people they are after. I can also help them with their weight reduction – by that I mean the weight reduction of the police officers and not the cars as the Evolution is already a pretty lean car. Malaysian police officers on the other hand …

Look out Steve, they’re coming to get you!

Hahaha
